'Castlevania: Rondo of Blood', first released in 1993 and 'Castlevania: Symphony of the Night', first released in 1997 are now available in one combined package for the PS4! Experience two of the greatest games from the famous Castlevania...

If I were you I’d start with The Last of Us - so good. I liked Horizon, but not as much as others seemed to. I haven’t played Uncharted 4 yet but the others were very good. I think you’re set for at least 500 hours with that pile!

First person games tend to not be exclusive. The only example I can think of for this generation is Halo 5. Resident Evil 7 and Doom have VR versions that are exclusive to PSVR I think. But the big FPS franchises are mostly available on all platforms.

Eh… Not to put a damper on things, but that game is way overhyped. Just go in with low expectations for a mediocre cover shooter and a drip-feed narrative and you’re ok.

I loved it. It was in the running for my game of the year and one of my favorites ever. Mostly for the characters, story, atmosphere. I thought the gameplay was good, but not the highlight of the game.

Sony is actively censoring anything remotely resembling sexual content in anime-styled games on their platforms, and moving forward, they’ll be blocking the entire visual novel genre from release on PS4, regardless of content or publisher. This means, as a major example, the all-ages cultural phenomenon Steins;Gate won’t see further releases on Sony platforms past anything that’s already been announced.

According to who? The idiot dipbag in that YouTube video? We have a single example of them requesting content be removed on a game. A single datapoint isn’t a pattern, let alone a prohibition of all visual novels. How can you even claim that with a straight face?

How about an actual developer affected by this, plus several other examples? Note that many of the games listed further down in the article aren’t actually ports of 18+ PC games, but are actually new releases in franchises that have historically received T or M ratings in the US with no issues, and none of these games are being edited in the same ways for other platforms, including the Switch.

So your proof that all visual novels are being banned is a link that lists 3 games that were edited and released on PS4, two other games in process of trying to get certified and one game that was not released in North America or Europe after five western countries banned it?

It’s possible that there’s translation weirdness causing confusion with “visual novel” versus “port of 18+ PC game,” but given that many of the games being affected are visual novels that aren’t ports of 18+ titles, it’s hard to tell for sure without more publishers stepping forward to explicitly confirm such. Regardless, these are games being released on PC and Switch, and even previously released on Vita, being edited or even entirely blocked from certification solely on PS4. You also seem to misunderstand the issue, as these are primarily domestic releases being affected, not international versions, though western releases are running into their own problems, like the newest Senran Kagura game being delayed on both PS4 and PC in the west because the PS4 version alone has to have content cut out to appease Sony. On top of that, this apparent new business with Sony requiring devs to communicate with them exclusively in English is utter nonsense regardless of what games it’s affecting.
